Keywords:
Bowater (medicine) and Yeoman (biological sciences, both U. of East Anglia, Britain) help other scientists develop their skill at communicating science to the general public. They present a series of case studies of colleagues who are scientists, students training to be sciences, scientists who have trained as teachers, and scientists who have established themselves as professional communicators. Among the topics are scientists communicating with the pubic, monitoring and evaluating an event or activity, getting started with public science communication, direct and indirect public communication, and getting started with science communication in schools. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Science communication is a rapidly expanding area and meaningful engagement between scientists and the public requires effective communication.

Designed to help the novice scientist get started with science communication, this unique guide begins with a short history of science communication before discussing the design and delivery of an effective engagement event. Along with numerous case studies written by highly regarded international contributors, the book discusses how to approach face-to-face science communication and engagement activities with the public while providing tips to avoid potential pitfalls.

This book has been written for scientists at all stages of their career, including undergraduates and postgraduates wishing to engage with effective science communication for the first time, or looking to develop their science communication portfolio.
